Reading Nights 2022 “We’ll see, campus life in 2020”

Focus on the audio comic book created during the UM artist residency.
Several locations (see program).

In 2020, with university life disrupted by the health crisis, Emilie Plateau, comic book author and illustrator, and Ganaëlle Maury, visual artist, were welcomed by the University of Montpellier as part of an artist residency on the theme of "Campus life in 2020."

Their encounters and their sensitive, attentive, and sometimes amused glances gave rise to the audio comic book "On verra, la vie des campus en 2020" (We'll see, campus life in 2020), a hybrid work combining drawings, sounds, and photographs, which was published in December 2021.

The title of the comic book:

"We'll see..."

A phrase that reflects the unique and suspended period that the university community faced from March 2020 to spring 2021.

"We'll see..." is an intriguing phrase that catches our attention and draws us in to open this audio comic book, read it, and listen to it.
